    If you believe that "don't roll your own crypto" is some kind of absurd mantra the security industry uses to keep us in business, I recommend that you roll your own crypto, and kee…

    Exactly. A setuid `delort-container` utility would be a good start.

    Cheers for the response. My question about deallocation was regarding the resource though, not the channel. Honestly, while from a best practice sense it shouldn't be too hard (You…

    Uhhh, except that this in no way actually implements CSP, given that more than one actor can just hang onto a resource despite having passed a pointer to someone else? Who's meant …

    "The language" ? C doesn't define behaviour of a null deref, but most compilers map a -rwx page there to ensure that attempts to deref fault. In what circumstance do they not?

    that's what mapping an -rwx page at 0x0 does, and as a result it segfaults, which is an access violation.

    Scroll from the top to the bottom (or vice versa) really hard. Watch the "3d layout engine" flip out thoroughly (tested only on chrome stable on darwin)

    I'm from Australia. We basically have a gimme with the E3, but it has the degree requirement.

    Yeah, trust me on this; they don't presume shit. So far there's a pile of documents about 30cm high, and that hasn't yet been enough to appease USCIS.

    If you've fullscreened the vim container (eg, gvim macvim) then set lines=80 Will center it. Not super complex in vanilla vim :)

    For l1b there's no actual visa requirement, but the burden of proof for eligibility is still set incredibly high. I understand to some degree the rationale behind the absurd proces…

    Or because it's too expensive. Or it's getting in the way of more important things. Or too stressful. Or someone at the uni is making their life miserable. Or one of the other 10 m…

    I dropped out super early. Worked for some software companies, built some internets. Trying to get a US visa now, the decision to not get a degree is pretty bitter. That said, this…

    That's probably true for a largish percentage, but it's a huge generalisation that does nothing to actually help OP with his question.

    I'm so confused, why does this need a specific thing? I'll just fullscreen {g,mac}vim and only have one pane if I'm set on doing this.
